Nvidia has released a brand new driver 461.92. This driver is extremely exciting for all the Overwatch fans due to the optimization and enhancements of Nvidia Reflex in the game. Other than that, as usual, the update mends a couple of issues. Other games such as RDR 2, Fortnite, and others have also received a couple of tweaks.
Fortnite had ample stutters before this update. Whenever I was jumping in Fortnite for a bit of fun I wasn’t able to get it. Even if I have RTX 3080, I had to lower everything in the graphics options. Nevertheless, even after that I was still dealing with the stutters. Alongside that, applications no longer flicker or stutter when resizing the window on some PCs. Without further ado, take a look at the complete driver notes below:
